When answering complex questions, large language models (LLMs) may produce answers that do not satisfy all criteria of the question. While existing self-evaluation techniques aim to detect if such answers are correct, these techniques are unable to determine which criteria of the question are satisfied by the generated answers. To address this issue, we propose answer-based claim decomposition (ABCD), a prompting strategy that decomposes questions into a series of true/false claims that can be used to verify which criteria of the input question an answer satisfies. Using the decomposed ABCD claims, we perform fine-grained self-evaluation. Through preliminary experiments on three datasets, including a newly-collected challenge dataset ObscureQA, we find that GPT-3.5 has some ability to determine to what extent its answer satisfies the criteria of the input question, and can give insights into the errors and knowledge gaps of the model.


Biased Algorithms Learn From Biased Data: 3 Kinds Biases Found In AI Datasets

#artificialintelligence

"Imagine a scenario in which self-driving cars fail to recognize people of color as people--and are thus more likely to hit them--because the computers were trained on data sets of photos in which such people were absent or underrepresented," Joy Buolamwini, a computer scientist and researcher at MIT, told Fortune in a recent interview. Buolamwini's research revealed that facial recognition software from tech giants Microsoft, IBM and Amazon, among others could identify lighter-skinned men but not darker-skinned women. It happens because of something that is mounting alarm: algorithmic bias. Algorithms are the foundation of machine learning. They are what drives intelligent machines to make decisions.
